Silly Bride

Chapter 166

her brows as she didn’t know who the men were.Nate also frowned.Both men clad in black suits opened the doors and got out of the Bentley.The slightly older man then came toward Nate.Before he spoke, he gave Nate a polite nod.“Mr. Nate, Mrs. Fraser told us to give you a ride home,” he said respectfully.Hearing that, Winnie glanced at Nate.No wonder the man honked so loudly earlier. Turns out he works for the Fraser family. He was afraid I’d hurt their Mr. Nate.Nate’s lips curved when he noticed Winnie looking at him.He declared arrogantly, “I’m sorry for disappointing you, Winnie. Instead of Xavier, my men have come here.”The Fraser family’s butler had seen Winnie holding Nate at knifepoint earlier, so he immediately stood in front of Nate in a protective manner.In a low voice, he asked, “Mr. Nate, do you need me to call the police?”“No need. We need to wait here for someone else. You can keep watch outside,” Nate ordered.The butler protested, “But Mr. Nate, Mrs. Fraser says you have to head home now.”“Are you deaf?” Nate snarled furiously. “I said, I need to wait for someone here! Tell Mom that I’ll go home on my own when I’m free.”The butler refused to give in. “Mr. Nate, please don’t make things difficult for us. If you insist on waiting for Mr. Xavier here, we’ll have to bring you back by force.”Nate narrowed his eyes in displeasure and questioned, “How do you know I’m waiting for Xavier? Who told you about it?”“It was me who told the butler. What’s wrong with that?” Before the butler could reply, a petite woman hopped out of the backseat of the Bentley.At the sight of the lady, Nate frowned and shifted uncomfortably. “Why are you here?”“Why can’t I be here? You’re busy filming and often don’t come home for three to four months. Since you refuse to go home, can’t I come to visit you instead?” the woman snapped.The petite woman was baby-faced but didn’t look that young. Winnie assumed she was in her thirties.The woman stopped beside Nate and glanced at Winnie. Flashing a beatific smile, she asked, “You must be Winnie Garland, right? Ms. Garland, I’ve heard about you. You look prettier and more elegant in person.”Winnie had no idea who she was, but it wasn’t nice to be rude to a polite person.With a slight nod, Winnie replied, “Yes, I’m Winnie Garland. You must be Nate’s elder sister.”She had made the assumption as they resembled each other.Hearing her words, the petite lady burst into giggles.Winnie frowned and added quickly, “It looks like I’ve assumed wrongly. I’m sorry.”“No.” The lady beamed in delight. “Do I look that young? Do I look like his elder sister?”Winnie shot her a brief nod and revealed, “You seem to be in your thirties, and you two resemble each other. That was how I came up with the assumption.”The lady chuckled and replied, “Ms. Garland, everyone lavishes praises on you online, but you got things wrong today. I’m actually Nate’s mother. He doesn’t have an elder sister. He only has one elder brother.”Winnie was at a loss for words.“I’m also Xavier’s aunt. You are married to Xavier, so you should call me Aunt Beatrice, too. I’m almost fifty years old,” the lady added.Winnie was rendered speechless. So this lady is Beatrice Fairchild?Back when she read about the Fairchild family, there was a photo of Beatrice Fairchild at a young age. Thus, she didn’t manage to recognize Beatrice at first glance earlier.Beatrice looked around thirty-five or six with her current skin condition and figure. Winnie had to admit that she made a wrong judgment today.“Mom, she’s a scheming woman. Don’t be fooled by her flattering words!” Nate blurted out.He grew alarmed when he realized his mother was chatting with Winnie happily.“Even if she’s flattering me, she’s better than you, who don’t even come home twice in a year!” Beatrice glowered at Nate.She then shot Winnie a smile. “Did you come here alone? Where is Xavier? Why isn’t he with you?”Winnie was about to speak when Nate strode over to Beatrice.“Mom, why do you know everything? Did Xavier tattle on me?” “If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it. Look at what you did to Winnie. It has affected her reputation. How are you going to solve it? Five years ago, you got into a fight with Xavier for that woman. Are you going to repeat your actions?”“Mom! Am I even your son? Why are you siding with him?”“I side with anyone but Yulissa White. She isn’t a nice person. I won’t let you hold a grudge against Xavier because of her. If you don’t want to go home with
